Neapolitan Pizza

# One of the original Pizza types is the Neapolitan Pizza which originated in
Naples, Italy, back in the 18th century. In the seaside city, poorer citizens
frequently purchased food that could be gobbled and was cheap during this time.

NewYork Style Pizza

# NewYork style Pizza is one of the famous regional American pizza types whose
characteristic feature is the large, foldable slices and a crispy outer crust. Many
feel that the flavor of the NewYork style Pizza comes from the town’s water supply.

Chicago Style Pizza

# Also called deep-dish Pizza, this kind of Pizza gets its name from the city it
was invented in, hence the name “Chicago Pizza.” Italian immigrants were searching
for a Pizza that was familiar to Neapolitan Pizza during the early 1900s.

Greek Pizza

# As the name suggests, the Pizza created by Greek immigrants who came to America,
introduced to Italian Pizza, is popularly known as Greek Pizza.

Sicilian Pizza

# Sicilian Pizza has a pillowy dough and provides a thick cut of Pizza, robust
tomato sauce, and a crunchy crust. Unlike traditional Pizzas, a Sicilian Pizza is
rectangular and is also called “sfincione.”

California Pizza

# The unusual combination of ingredients makes the California Pizza unique and is
also called gourmet Pizza. The California-style Pizza is typically served as a
slice rather than as a whole Pizza.

Detroit Style Pizza

# Detroit-style Pizza was initially baked in a square automotive parts pan in the
1940s, reflecting the city’s deep ties to the auto industry. This type of Pizza has
a caramelized cheese perimeter because it is spread with brick cheese after topping
it with pepperoni first. Similar to Chicago-style Pizza, the sauce is then spooned
over the Pizza. The Detroit-style Pizza is tender and airy on the inside while
having a thick and extra crispy crust. Because it is pan-fried, the base of this
Pizza is crunchier.

St. Louis Style of Pizza

# St. Louis Pizza is one of the favorite pizza flavors for people looking for a
light slice. This Pizza dough is made without yeast and has a thin crust with a
cracker-like consistency. St. Louis Pizza is usually cut into three or four-inch
rectangles known as a tavern or party cut due to the crispy crust.

Calzone

# Calzone might not technically be considered a Pizza, but it might count. It is

essentially a Pizza that is folded before baked if you are unfamiliar with a
calzone. It is a traditional Italian dish that was created in the 18th Century in
Naples.
Pepperoni Pizza

# Pepperoni is a variety of spicy salami made from cured pork and beef seasoned
with paprika or other chili pepper. Prior to cooking, pepperoni is
characteristically soft, slightly smoky, and bright red.
